Corinne Nicholson is the wife of federal informant Ben Nicholson and the mother of their daughter Katie, who was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome. She befriended Tina Parven, who had a son with Down Symdrome with her husband Joel.

Fed up with witness protection and overwhelmed with a child with a chromosomal condition, Corinne had an affair with Joel and eventually became pregnant. Joel's other son, Alex, was horrified to find out, breaking into Corinne's home at night after on tryst and nearly beating her to death and mumbling "bitch". Katie was a witness to everything, and the violence of the battery put Corinne in a coma.

With Katie's testimony, Alex was identified and convicted for aggravated assault. When Corinne woke up, she suffered amnesia, but Ben still decided to divorce her. Forcing Katie out of the hospital screaming, Corinne cried out of confusion from not understanding why she couldn't return home. (SVU: "Savant")
